Tesla Model X tows Boeing 787 Dreamliner

Cars towing airplanes isn't really out-of-the-box thinking. It towed a Boeing 747 over a decade ago (2006) and set a new record for other cars to break.

The tow vehicle in the video is a Model X P100D, and the plane is the latest Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, carrying a "small amount of fuel on board" but no passengers. Ever since that stint, a bunch of carmakers have attempted at surpassing the record and Nissan accomplished the goal by pulling a gargantuan 170-tonne cargo plane in 2013. The Germans retaliated with the Porsche Cayenne S Diesel past year, which pulled a 285-tonne Airbus A380 for an impressive 73 metres.

We have seen dozens of videos of Tesla's punching above their weight towing everything from jeeps to semi-trailers, but this video takes the cake.

Monday was an exciting day for electric vehicles everywhere. With this, Tesla has set a new Guinness World Record for the heaviest tow (130 tonnes) done by a production electric auto. Its dual electric motors generated a huge amount of torque (967 Nm), which helped it tow the Dreamliner to nearly 300 metres.

Built with just 5000-lb rated capacity, Tesla'sModel X is the only electric passenger vehicle with the highest towing capacity now offered in the market. In comparison, the VW Touareg V10 TDI has a torque rating of 750Nm, while the record-setting Porsche Cayenne S Diesel's V8 motor churns out 850Nm of peak torque.
